According to the slides, the 65nm Athlon 64 is codenamed ‘Brisbane’ – though whether for the Australian city or the San Francisco suburb of the same name isn’t clear. The 65nm Sempron has an altogether more bellicose codename: ‘Sparta’. Both are simply listed as 65nm parts supporting AMD’s Socket AM2 interconnect.

    It lets you run multiple operating systems at a hardware level, allowing switching between operating systems and lots of other nifty things that I can't remember.
